Additional Guidance for Portugal

  • Merchandise Exchanges - a separate sale transaction and corresponding return transaction must be performed. The native exchange capability within NewStore cannot be used for exchanges in Portugal.

  • Cancelling / voiding in process transactions  - Once a payment has been accepted and processed as part of a transaction, the NewStore platform requires the transaction to be completed, and then a subsequent return to be processed in order to reverse any payment transactions. There is currently no way to cancel an in-process transaction when a payment has been processed.

  • Cash Transactions Over 3000 EUR - Portugal does not allow “cash” transactions >= 3000 EUR. Retailers need to govern their transactions, the NewStore Associate App will not restrict this. It is recommended that the retailer break the purchases into multiple transactions to stay under this threshold. 

  • External Payments - Retailers in fiscal countries - such as Portugal are not able to use the External Payments payment option. These transactions are processed outside of NewStore and thus cannot be fiscalized within the NewStore platform.

2 Achieved via NewStore implementation.

4 Not available as an in-store payment option, but available as a remote payment option.


Adding fiscal signatures to receipts

In some countries, you have to print the Fiscal signature on the receipts. The requirements for the fiscal signature format and fields depend on the country that a retailer operates in, where fiscal regulations apply.

The fiscal signature data is available as a pre-defined property, which can be used for displaying the fiscal signature.

To update the template to include the fiscal signature in the receipt, follow the steps mentioned in Customizing a template.

To understand what changes must be made in the template, see the the tutorial.

Important

  • The retailer is responsible for verifying local regulations and ensuring compliance of the receipt.

  • Receipts created within non-production environments should be marked with an indicator, such as a header text or watermark. The indicator must state that the receipt is not valid and is for testing purposes only. The indicator helps retailers to identify a test receipt and prevents unintended usage of such receipts.
